My Corner of the Interweb

Sunday Night, 2:37am.

Mood: Tired, sort of.
Music: 10:15, The Cure.

I know I'm supposed to be asleep. I even went to sleep at 8:45pm so that I could wake up at 5am.

Unfortunately, my body doesn't like it when I go to sleep that early. It thinks it's a nap. So now, I'm awake at 2:30am.

I woke up at around 11:30pm. My fookus called me, and I was SO glad to hear from her. She has been super busy with her Faire and work and such, and I hadn't spoken to her in a week. She's coming to visit in two weeks, so that's REALLY cool. I'm very very excited.

Anyway, I've decided to let folks know what I do when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. (And no, it won't be perverted and weird. Sorry. Get your jollies elsewhere.)

11:45pm - Cut up that honeydew melon that's been sitting in my fridge for too long. I think it's a little soft, but it was still tasty. I cut up the whole thing, threw most of it in a Ziploc container (I love those...) and threw that in the freezer. I'll probably make sorbet out of it.

12:15pm - I check on how my download of CS:CZ is going. I signed up for Steam, and I bought Counterstrike. I know, I know. But I was bored, and Steam looked really cool. I like the idea of it. I spend some time fiddling around with settings and stuff.

12:35pm - I reply to an email that BoosterMPS wrote me in regards to a rules/etiquette/terms of service doc that he's been writing for gamertagdatabase.com. It seems like life has pretty much caught up with the GTDB crew, and we're not paying attention to the site the way we used to, unless it screams for attention. Neglectful parents. Sad.

12:50pm - I read the news (today oh boy....) The US lost to Lithuania in basketball. Lithuania. There are more people in the US who play Basketball DAILY than live in the entire country of Lithuania. I have no idea who chose this team (and I use this term loosely,) but they need to be shot. Right after the players who were invited to come and decided not to participate. Folks, I understand not wanting to join the Armed Services...I, myself, am opposed to putting holes in people from extremely long distances in real life. But if and when my country asks me to represent them, I go. I spent about 5 years out of the US...and I like to think that I represented my company and country with a certain amount of class. And hopefully, I was able to change some people's opinions of Americans for the better. Whatever. All you players who make millions of dollars a year to play a game and turned down a chance to represent their country should be ashamed of yourselves. Yeah, right. Like Shaquille O'Neal reads my blog.

1am: I decide that I'll have a little snack. I reheat the spicy shrimp lo mein I have the fridge and chomp it down while drinking Diet Coke from a glass bottle. Is there anything better than frosty cold Diet Coke in a glass bottle? Yes...but not beveragewise.

1:15am: I am an ESPN.com whore. I read it constantly. I have to admit I miss Ralph Wiley.

1:30am: I decide to finally install the memory in my new Dell 1700n printer. I like it. 25ppm, black and white laser for about $250. Can't beat that. Takes me 15 minutes to look around on the web before I pick up the User Manual sitting on my desk that has the instructions for installing the memory right there on page 17. Sometimes, folks, it's easier to RTFM than look online. Memory goes in with no trouble.

1:45am: I surf for a bit, bored. I debate finally watching Throne of Blood...and decide against it. Macbeth is heavy watching when you're fully awake. Especially in Japanese. When you're tired and should be asleep? Bad choice.

2:00am: I straighten up my desk area, including dusting around my computer. I did it earlier today, but I missed a few spots.

2:15am: I read a few of the blogs that I read occasionally, and finally decide to update my blog.

2:37am: I begin updating my blog.

I think this is a pretty cool chronology of puttering. I even liked writing it.

Of course, I'll regret it at 5am. Oh well.
